Smork is a coastal port in Hergen and is the nearest thing to its capital city. It can be located from many leagues away even in the thickest fog by the smell of the many smokehouses dedicated to creating smoked herring, Smork Smokies, sursstroming, lutefisk and other fish products in the throes of being preserved. As well as the rendering of whale-oil. Experienced sailors claim the smell is as good as a lighthouse.

Annotations

Consider the Swedish Chef in The Muppet Show. His theme song was in parody-Swedish and always ended something like Smork, smork, smork! Wikipedia has more on Scandinavian fermented and pickled fish produce: Surströmming

The Smork smokie shares its name with a Scottish smoked fish called an Arbroath smokie.
